numbering while not breaking 4.x compatibility:
- Stop using device nodes in /usr/compat/linux/dev and instead rely
on the linuxaltor passing though to /dev
- Create needed device nodes in /dev (on 4.x)
- Account for a change in falloc's semantics that was preventing
the vmmon module from being unloaded on 5.1+ machines.

This outputs a
WARNING: driver "vmmon" used unreserved major device number 200
message, but as the vmware application really requires to use a major
of 200 (error otherwise, tested), we need to use a fixed one, and I
don't want to register a major for this.

Note that the OSVERSION test is inexact. The type change
happened after 500027, but since there's no 500028 yet and

advantages, chief of which is that it doesn't hose over multi-interface
configurations the way the default installation did before. This
mechanism "chains" the guest's interface to an interface specified at
installation-time (it can be changed afterwards by editing the rc.d
script).

- Add support for FreeBSD bridging facility. To use it, you need a
kernel built with `options BRIDGE'.
- Integrate vmnet and if_tap code into vmmon module.
- Install vmmon/vmnet1 pseudo-device nodes under /compat/linux/dev
instead of /dev
- Set TMPDIR to /var/tmp if empty.
- Change MAINTAINER back to Vladimir N. Silyaev <vns@delta.odessa.ua>,
now he is back and being active. :)

as a symbolic link to ${PREFIX}/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.

Add $FreeBSD$ on the top of the Hints.FreeBSD file.
Add a link to the official VMware Product FAQ page.
